Amid Kate Middleton and King Charles III’s health issues, there won’t be many royal engagements for the next few months. With Charles taking a month-long break, and Kate not making a public appearance until around Easter time, many say this monarchy is seeing why a “slimmed-down” version isn’t the best strategy. Because of the slimmed-down monarchy, many members who used to go to every occasion are nowhere to be seen in public. And two big ones reportedly have no desire to go back to the royal life.

Royal author Victoria Arbiter claims that even with the health emergencies, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will not be stepping in.

“As the only blood-born princesses of their generation, it would be wonderful to see Beatrice and Eugenie take on more responsibility,” she told GB News via MSN. “But neither have indicated a desire to do so.”

She added, “Beatrice and Eugenie are happy to support the family behind the scenes. But I think each enjoys the life they’re able to live without the added burden of a full schedule of royal engagements.”

This isn’t the first time experts have theorized that Beatrice and Eugenie won’t be a part of the royal family engagements because of their father Prince Andrew. But don’t worry, the sisters are doing just fine.

Beatrice reportedly works as Vice President of Partnerships and Strategy at Afiniti, a technology company, while Eugenie works as an associate director for an art gallery named Hauser & Wirth. Along with that, they’re living their best lives with their spouses and children.
